Hey-ho, privacy enthusiasts
I’m currently traveling around the world, and thinking about staying in Europe for 5ish years
But i’m a tinfoil guy and aware of the “many eyed beast”
So, what do you think? All lies and everything is actually dystopian, or everything should be fine?
I’m actually thinking about 4 countries like Spain, Portugal, Italy, and Greece (because don’t like cold, and actually a little bit sick of other countries in the EU😅😅😅)
Here in Spain there’s minimal surveillance outside the big cities. My town (circa 40K residents) has no public cameras in town (I lived in the UK and they were everywhere).
Get it, get it
But cameras are not the only concern, what’s about internet traffic analysis, piracy, ability to rent something or get some service like sim or home internet without documents and stuff
Or even transportation, like busses, trains, etc
Don’t get me wrong, i’m asking so I can have a better picture of how the stuff really works
Gotcha
Internet is somewhat restricted but only the most common sites are blocked
Renting requires ID - passport or Spanish ID, same with Internet or a SIM card
Transportation there’s no ID requirements on buses and trains
Renting requires ID - passport or Spanish ID
Does the landlord register the people that rent the place?
or a SIM card
How common is someone selling preregistered sim cards?
